@coriander i think brits should Try Harder generally but i guess this one is legit

@clayote oxford dictionary of english says you should NOT use the spanish pronunciation

@coriander spanish armada was 1588 and don quijote was published 1605/1615 so like,

@coriander is this another one of those “we refuse to correctly pronounce words from countries which tried to invade us” things

why is quixotic pronounced Like That

@akjcv@types.pl i have some bad news about the profitability of search

@akjcv@types.pl some people intend for their posts to be a public record and in that context archiving that record can be reasonable and maybe even desirable. but many people very specifically do not

@akjcv@types.pl (no machine connected to the internet or owned by someone who may at some point be accused of breaking the law)

@akjcv@types.pl the default stance should always be to not archive and archiving should have to be justified on a case-by-case basis, as a general principle

no data is secure and no machine connected to the internet is private

that’s not to take the extreme stance that nothing should ever be recorded, but recording a significant quote somebody said to you in your journal is different than keeping a continuous record of everything they have ever said, and the fact that it is easier to do with computers doesn’t change the ethical considerations with it

@akjcv@types.pl i think it’s sus to do on anyone who has their posts set to autodelete, with caveats and exceptions

next they’ll be bringing ronald reagan out on set
